Developments for the Master Plan, Part Deux of car company Tesla is already well underway, with a variety of vehicles to be manufactured and then released sometime in the future, which includes a semi-truck, and SUV, and a pickup. Despite all of these developments, however, one development aspect they are missing is the minivan.

Despite the plummeting sales of the said vehicle type, a lot of households remain avid fans of the vehicle, due to the sheer largeness of the volume inside the van, how child-friendly it is, and how you can efficiently store the things in them for family travels and other purposes. Because of this, certain car enthusiasts have simulated how an actual Tesla minivan would actually look like. This is because despite the fact that they probably would never be one, having a Tesla minivan is still an interesting matter to play around with.

Theoretically, the volume on the inside of the minivan would be maximized, due to the battery pack being stored on the floor, with motors either on the rear end or the front of the vehicle. Either the trunk or the front end would then allot a huge amount of space, apart from the cabin space for passengers.

Apart from that, families would no longer have to worry about gas pumps which often are often loaded with grease, and don't smell good at all. For the minivan, a chassis like that of the Model X SUV would best fit the structure of the proposed Tesla minivan.

The base of the wheels could be expanded a bit to have a broader third row of seats, and of course, the sliding doors, which are an indispensable part of vans. Engineers over at tesla could probably devise a hidden set of tracks for the sliding doors to avoid having a gap in the panels at the back.

Basically, the ideas for design are limitless.
